BRUSH.

a device for cultivating the eye-brows in order that they may present an attractive appearance. For this purpose I have produced a brush of such construction that itwill move the loose and widely spread hairs to the body of the eye-brows and will also bring the ends of the eye-brows to points or so treat them as to give them the most pleasing appearance.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows how a brush constructed in accordance with my invention may be,

used.

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of one form of the brush.

Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the same.

Fig. 4 shows how the eye-brows may be cultivated.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a modification in which the brush is attached to the top or cover of a box.

Fig. 6 is a bottom plan view of the interior of the cover with the brush attached.

In Fig. 1, I have shown how the brush may be used to treat the eye-brows, the brush being indicated at A.

Figs. 2 and 3 show one form of the device. It comprises a triangular frame a carrying bristles 6 also arranged in the form of a triangle. The bristles extend from the rear ends of the frame forward and converge to ward the apex of the triangle. They do not, however, come together at the front of the frame, but a space 0 is left between the ends of the bristles at the front end of the brush. This space is wider at the back than at the front and tapers toward the front. cl indicates a handle for the brush.

In using the device, it is held in the hand, as indicated in Fig. 1, and drawn over the eye-brows endwise. The bristles gather the 7 loose and wandering hairs and direct them toward the body of the eye-brows (Fig. 4)

and they also straighten out the hairs in the manner shown. The brush is so used as to glve to the eye-brows a tapering form, as shown in the drawings, which is generally considered the most attractive shape for the eyebrows.

As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the brush may be attached to the top or cover B of a box B and the cover may be provided with a suitable handle it. In this way the brush is concealed and kept clean. The box may be made of attractive material, such as ivory, celluloid or silver.

The device, as a whole, in either form affords an attractive and useful addition to a toilet set and may be made at small expense.

I claim as my invention:

. 1. A brush for cultivating the eye-brows, comprising a fiat frame and rows of bristles on one side thereof which converge toward one end but which have a space between them at their converging ends.

2. A brush for cultivating the eye-brows comprising a frame, and rows of bristles which all extend in the same direction from the frame and which rows converge toward one end of the frame but have a tapering space between them at this end, while the opposite ends of the rows are widely separated.

3. A brush for cultivating the eye-brows comprising a V-shaped frame, and two rows of bristles carried by the frame which all extend in the same direction from the frame and which rows converge toward one end of theframe but have a tapering space between them at this end, while the opposite ends of the rows are widely separated.

4. A brush for cultivating the eyebrows comprising a V-shaped frame, and bristles extending from the frame in the same direction on each arm of the V and the outer ends of which are in the same plane, said rows of bristles being arranged to converge toward one end of the frame but have a space between them which tapers outwardly towardthe point of the V.

In "testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
